Uber Accident Lawyers in Phoenix: Navigating Your Legal Complexities with Compassion

In the years since its founding in 2009, Uber has grown to become the largest ride sharing company globally, revolutionizing transportation. As convenient as Uber is, it presents unique implications for motorists and passengers involved in accidents with Uber drivers. If you are injured in an Uber accident, you’ll benefit from the expertise of the Uber accident attorneys at the Law Office of Erica Gelfand, who can help you navigate the complex insurance and legal issues involved.

Understanding Uber’s Unique Situation

Uber is a platform that connects drivers and passengers. However, unlike traditional taxi services, Uber drivers are considered independent contractors rather than employees. This difference has significant implications for accident victims. While taxi companies can be held vicariously liable for their drivers’ negligent actions under respondeat superior, Uber, because its drivers are independent contractors, will argue that it is not liable for their negligence.

Yet, Uber does offer some insurance coverage, but its application depends on specific circumstances. The value of your claim and potential compensation can be affected by Uber’s and the driver’s coverage limits.

The Law Office of Erica Gelfand Uber accident law firm is well-versed in Arizona’s insurance requirements for Uber drivers and the scenarios when Uber’s insurance may come into play. We can review your case, help you understand your legal options and rights, and assist you in seeking full compensation for your losses.

Understanding Uber’s Insurance Policy

Uber’s insurance coverage is tied to the driver’s activity on the Uber app at the time of the accident and operates in four stages:

When the app is off, Uber doesn’t provide coverage. The driver’s personal auto liability insurance covers any accidents.
When the driver is waiting for a ride request, Uber offers liability coverage for any accident the driver causes – up to $50,000 per victim, $100,000 total per accident, and $25,000 in property damage coverage.
Once a ride request has been accepted, Uber’s liability coverage increases to $1 million.
When a passenger is in the vehicle, Uber’s coverage includes $1 million liability coverage, uninsured motorist coverage, and limited property damage coverage for the Uber driver’s vehicle.

Extra Insurance for Uber Black Drivers
Uber Black or Uber Black SUV drivers must purchase commercial driver’s insurance, which carries higher liability requirements.

The Law Office of Erica Gelfand can guide you through these intricate details, helping determine who should be held responsible for covering your losses. If you need assistance after an Uber accident, please contact our dedicated legal team. Your recovery is our priority.

SHOULD I PROVIDE A STATEMENT TO THE OTHER DRIVER'S INSURANCE COMPANY?

You’ve just been involved in an auto accident and the other driver’s insurance company wants to take your statement. The insurance adjuster may want to record your statement over the telephone, or may want to meet with you in person to do a simple interview.

The recorded statement is crucial in your personal injury claim, as the insurance company may use it in deciding who is at fault for the collision. The insurance adjuster may also try to pin you down as to your injuries in a statement taken within days of the collision before you have returned to all of your daily activities or even had a chance to see your doctor.

If you have concerns about meeting with an insurance adjuster to give a statement, you should call an experienced Arizona personal injury attorney who can advise you regarding your rights and obligations. If you retain the attorney to represent you, he or she can be present during the statement to make sure you do not say anything that might hinder or impair your claim.

WILL HIRING A PERSONAL INJURY ATTOENEY GET ME COMPENSATED FOR MY WAGE-LOSS?

The financial toll of lost wages after an injury can be devastating. Even while laid up from an injury, you still have to pay for housing, food, and your other monthly expenses. Then the medical bills start coming in. How will you pay for it all?

Fortunately, when you’ve been injured by the negligence of another person or a company, you have a right to be reimbursed for the income you lose while you recover.
